automation-scripts

Scripts I use to make my life in the CLI much easier and efficent.

Prerequisites

Installing GnuPG MacOSX

If you don't already have it, install Homebrew.

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Once that is installed, install GnuPG

brew install gnupg

Password Management

• pwd.sh - My username and password information handler.
• wifi-password - My "I'm too lazy to get the actual password for people" handler.
• passbox - My other secure information handler.

Password Management Installation

---

If you want the scripts.

git clone https://github.com/nmbarker/automation-scripts.git

Make sure to chmod each script so that you can actually use it.

(sudo) chmod u+x <script>

Alternatively

You can install wifi-password with Brew.

brew install wifi-password

You can install passbox with Curl.

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RobBollons/passbox/master/passbox > ./passbox && chmod +x ./passbox
